There are a lot of Pivot drills aimed at teaching how the pivot components move in a coordinated way.
My favorite is the "Behind the Back Drill". Put your Dowel (or Golf Club) behind your back and through your Elbows and then assume your Address Posture. Start pivoting in a slow Backstroke and Downstroke motion. Increase your range of motion as you become comfortable. Be aware that the Backstroke Motion is different than the Downstroke Motion.
This drill isolates Zone 1 from Zone 2 & 3. You can feel all of the components involved; Feet, Knees, Hips, Trunk and Shoulders. Additionally and very important; this drill will give you a heightened sense of Shoulder Turn, Weight shift, Stationary Head and Balance.
This drill, unlike others I've used, will allow you to test component variations while you feel and see their effect on Rotation and Hip Action. You can test any Pivot you like such as "Stack and Tilt", "In the Dirt", "The Final Missing Piece", Etc. The advantages or not of each, for you, will become readily noticeable.
By using different Stance Widths, you can evaluate the Stance Width best for you and how it affects your component participation and Range of Motion. You can also Splay your feet in any direction and combination and evaluate what that does. It does a lot more than you might think.
